Hello everyone, Last week was transfers and I found out that I am staying in Southern Maryland. Transfers are always a sad time because you see a lot of your friends leave for back home, but also exciting because a lot of new people enter into the field. It is always sad and exciting during this time of year because school just got out which means a lot of people are coming in and going.
Whenever there is a missionary in our district who is leaving, we take a death picture at our last district meeting, which means the missionary that is going home will be dead, and the rest of the missionaries will be mourning their loss. It is a fun little tradition.
We had a lesson this week with some investigators where we talked about how to obtain faith and why it is important to have faith and to grow it. We talked about Alma 32 which compares faith unto a seed and how it can grow if we plant it, so we all agreed that we would buy plants to remind us to have faith and to grow our faith, as we nourished it like our plants, well my companion is from Arizona so he persuaded all of us to get cactuses. Now we all have faith cactuses. Something else that is awesome, the lady's name we were buying the cactuses from was Faith. So we explained to her our faith cactuses.
This last Sunday was "Why I Believe", an event at the visitor center at the D.C Temple. One of the recent converts we have been working with gave his testimony. A lot of the ward was there to support him and he did a wonderful job. The main speaker was a man that is an artist, and he showed us some of his paintings and the time-lapse videos of him painting them. It was incredible. He likened his paintings to an aspect of the gospel. His name is Johnathan Linton, and you should look up some of his work.
Press forward saints!
Elder Dallin McKay Spurgeon
